COVID19 patient spent 6 days walking on the ventilator, 8 days proned, then 4 days standing and working on walking until extubated. He got himself into his car to go straight home 10 days later today. He shut the door without looking back. I don't think we'll see him again. :)
A very short video about https://t.co/lCPkZg8K7r, for ICU patients & their family members. COVID and UK wide versions of the website in development. Please share.

Wonderful article with contributions from insightful experts. The public should know what life after the ICU is like. Do we understand this from inside the ICU?

What we need to know from patient/family is
1) what makes their life meaningful
2) what is most important
3) what they are most worried about
As long as we know these, we can make a recommendation (give a guidance).
I wrote a paper about this, which will be out soon.
Just to say for any critical care OTs our there.. there is a Facebook page Covid4CCOT to share knowledge, facts and experience. It’s more specific than the Covid4OT page
